Deja
Vu for Hull Visit?
Posted 25/02/05
Last season when Hull visited Glasgow in
the Premier trophy, they had to ride with a weakened side as one of
their riders, Magnus Karlsson, was riding elsewhere – they used
Glasgow’s Gary Beaton as a Conference League guest. It now looks
likely that history could repeat itself this season.
Former Glasgow asset Emiliano Sanchez, sold to Hull
in the winter, has previously ridden on a British licence. However
during the close season Sanchez switched to an Italian licence to
allow him entry into the European Championships.
This means that Hull no longer have first claim on
his services and the first time this could cause problems is when
Hull are due to visit Ashfield on 3rdApril for the Premier Trophy
match.
Sanchez will ride in an Italian Championship on the
Saturday night. He is hoping to make the relevant flight to Glasgow
in time for tapes up at 3pm on the Sunday but the timings are tight
and there is a strong possibility that Hull may, once again, be forced
to field a weakened side at Ashfield.
